At the October 24 Planning Board meeting, Morgan Management (who built the apartments within Township 5) submitted plans to build 262 townhomes within 38 buildings off of Warners Road near the intersection of Hinsdale Road – slightly southeast of WAVES.
Each building would hold five to seven apartments, each with its own garage and with either one, two or three bedrooms. The 35-acre property would also have a 5,500 square-foot community center with a pool.
As this is zoned R4, this is considered a vested right and is overseen by the Planning Board. I am not opposed to growth in the 2nd Ward but I do have concerns in regards to increased traffic, the necessity of a second access road, the absence of sewer infrastructure and the lack of communication with the neighborhood in regards to the proposal. Additionally, SOCPA (Syracuse-Onondaga County Planning Agency) recommended that the application be disapproved.
If the plan continues to move forward I will post information on my website (www.mikelaflair.com) and will do my best to notify those directly impacted. As a note the Planning Board meets the 2nd and 4th Monday’s of the month, 7:00 in the downstairs Town Board room. The agenda’s are posted as soon as I receive them at www.mikelaflair.com
